Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
Hi Tim,
I had similar problems with Opera which was badly drawn resulting in a thick
black line across the tab bar and other problems with the tool bars not
displaying correctly.
I eventually resolved the problem by installing the packages below
gtk2-engines-murrine
murrine-themes
Having installed them open tde control centre (system settings) appearance/gtk
styles and fonts. Under GTK Styles choose use another style and chose one of
the Murrine styles. I chose MurrinaBlue but probably any of the murrine
styles will work.
After a reboot I found that Opera was fixed.
This was with Xubuntu Lucid 10.04 and Precise 12.04 both with TDE 3.5.13.2
Hoping this may resolve your problem.

Look for a package called gtk-qt-engine, or
something like that.
According to my package manager gtk-qt-engine isn't installed.
If I login using XFCE instead of TDE, then the problem goes away, so
this is definitely related to something that's activated by using TDE.
(I'm assuming that "non-TDE apps"
means "GTK applications".)
I haven't checked many apps to which tool kits are and are not affected,
but OpenOffice, Firefox and Mageia control centre are all exhibiting the
problem. The Mageia control centre is a particular problem because the
alternative styles are making the scroll bar on the software manger very
"jumpy". In Firefox my the standard them gets a load of thick black
lines which don't look very nice.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
